RESEARCH STUDY
Under the Skin: Shame, Dissociation, and the Psychophysiology of Trauma
Understanding how experiences of shame and trauma are reflected in the body
Shame can be an intensely physical experience. It may come with a racing heart, tension, the urge to withdraw or hide, or a feeling of becoming disconnected from yourself or your surroundings. For individuals with histories of trauma, these emotional and bodily responses may be especially complex.
Under the Skin: Shame, Dissociation, and the Psychophysiology of Trauma is a dissertation research study examining how experiences of shame and dissociation are related to childhood trauma and posttraumatic stress.
The study combines participants’ descriptions of their own experiences with measures of the body’s physiological responses during emotion. By examining both psychological and physiological processes, this research aims to better understand what happens when people experience shame and why these responses may differ from person to person.
